-
- MD C:\PD_DATA
-
- 2. Type:
- PSTAT > C:\PD_DATA\PSTAT.TXT
-
- II. Gathering hardware and system configuration information.
-
- 1. Open the OS/2 System Folder.
-
- 2. Open the System Setup Folder in the OS/2 System Folder.
-
- 3. Open the System Information Tool in the System Setup Folder.
- (If the System Information Tool is not in this folder, install
- it from the Bonus Pack.)
-
- 4. Select File on the main menu.
-
- 5. Select Print All System Data to a File on the File menu.
- Use the file name: C:\PD_DATA\SYSINFO.RPT
-
- 6. Select OK.
-
- III. Gathering information about DOS and Windows programs.
-
- 1. From ALL DOS or WIN-OS/2 Session, open the Settings notebook
- for the program.
-
- 2. Select the Session tab.
-
- 3. Select the DOS or WIN-OS/2 Settings button.
-
- 4. Select All Settings, then select OK.
-
- 5. Select Print.
-
- 6. Select Print to encoded file, use file name:
- C:\PD_DATA\{name}.DST.
- {name} = any valid filename.
- Use a different name for each DOS Session.
-
- 7. Select OK to print the file.
-
- IV. Collecting any other relevant information.
-
- If possible, create a README.1ST text file describing any
- special circumstances and steps for recreating the problem.
- Include symptoms or issues that may be related. For example,
- hard disk is contantly being used, problem occurs
- after loading a particular application, problem occured after
- upgrading hardware, problem occured after changing to high-
- resolution video mode, etc.
-
-
- You can send the information to IBM 3 ways.
-
- 1. Upload the file to 407-443-8000 to library 13. You need to
- use PKZIP to compress all files in c:\PD_DATA directory into
- one file. Use the PMR#.ZIP as the name. You can use other
- compression utilities, but the file MUST be self-extracting.
- If you do not have PKZIP, you can download it from the IBM PC
- BBS at (919)517-0001. The name is PKZ204G.EXE.
-
- 2. Mail files in C:\PD_DATA on diskette to:
- IBM
- 1000 NW 51st. St.
- Boca Raton, FL 33432
- Internal Zip 1020
- ATTN: Dennis Riddlemoser, Scott Bell or Ed Sasonne
-
- 3. Fax the information. Faxing the information is strongly
- discouraged because it is about 20 to 30 pages and will be
- difficult to review in this form. If you must fax, send
- the information to (407)443-6940. Include the PMR# on the fax.
